A new Welsh rock opera written in Brecon is set to premiere at this year’s Brecon Fringe Festival.

Greed The Rock Opera was written by Nigel Evans - also known as Scribbleman - and recorded over 18 months, using nearly 30 local singers, musicians and actors.

Ex-Stranglers manager, Dai Davies has called it the first ever ‘Facebook Opera’.

Scribbleman says: “I put a post on Facebook asking if anyone fancied helping me record a rock opera and a load of people messaged me. I knew most of them to be fair. Brecon’s a small town and there’s a ton of musicians.”

Scribbleman says: “Greed is about the big bad world we live in but I’ve shrunk the world in Greed to make it easier to follow. It’s about hapless politicians in Abertaff and the evil bankers like Rotkin who control them.

“Greed is about the fake world we live in where 1% own 99% of the wealth. It’s about the debt controlled slavery system we’re manacled to called money. It’s a love story really.”
